Crapo Statement on Announcement of Intent to Nominate Frank Bisignano to Serve as Commissioner of the Social Security Administration

Washington, D.C.--U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), the lead Republican of the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees the Social Security Administration, issued the following statement after President-elect Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Frank Bisignano to serve as the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration:

“The Social Security Administration provides more than $1 trillion in benefits to millions of seniors, individuals with disabilities and their families each year.  The position of Commissioner is particularly important at a time when the agency is facing significant operational challenges.  Frank Bisignano’s career of revamping financial services institutions and stewarding their resources will serve him well in this crucial role.  I look forward to considering his nomination before the Committee.”
